Ascensioni in Mizugaki Yama

pumpy, packs a lot in, reminds me of Earlwood main wall but better

very satisfying arete moves

I love chimneys!! We felt the pressure of time after the 3rd pitch so went down, think we did the fun parts. First pitch is a bit lower quality, it cleans up after that, apart from some loose rock at the end of the 3rd pitch, but the belayer is protected. Very difficult to pull the rope down from the first rap (that we did - second rap from the top) - best for the last person down to bring the knots as far down as possible.

Morning after rain, dry apart from some patches on the first pitch. First pitch was harder than it looks - perhaps just the not-textbook gear especially with the water. Linked pitches 1-2 and 4-5, but 4-5 was a mistake, way too much drag from the boulders.

looks like I'll need to add a bit of stuff we did to the crag

Learn a hand, thin-hand and finger jamming from this.

sent by top roping on the first pitch. Good to train trad climbing for beginners.
